Even in difficult and uncertain circumstances, the most effective leaders focus their attention and overcome entrenched patterns of behavior to push an organization to new heights of success. This capability is no fluke: the latest research on the brain shows that we can pinpoint the mental activity associated with it--and cultivate it for our benefit. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn this book, Art Kleiner, a strategy expert; Jeffrey Schwartz, a research psychiatrist; and Josie Thomson, an executive coach, give a transformative explanation of how cutting-edge neuroscience can help business leaders set a course toward better management. Mapping the functions of a manager onto established patterns of mental activity, they identify crucial brain circuits and their parallels in organizational culture. Strategic leaders, they show, play the role of \u003ci\u003ewise advocates\u003c\/i\u003e: able to go beyond day-to-day transactional behavior to a longer-term, broader perspective that articulates their organization's deeper purpose. True leaders can play this influencer role in an organization because they have cultivated similar self-reflective habits in their own minds. Providing a powerful guide to decision strategies and their consequences, \u003ci\u003eThe Wise Advocate\u003c\/i\u003e helps managers find their own inner voice and then make that voice ring out loud and clear, with a four-step program for practice and catalytic implications for management strategy, executive education, and business results.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eArt Kleiner is the editor in chief of \u003ci\u003estrategy+business\u003c\/i\u003e, the management magazine published by PwC.
